Firefighters were called to the residence around 6 a.m. While battling the blaze, an 8-inch water main feeding the hydrants broke, forcing firefighters to call in help from surrounding communities to feed water by transporting it in tankers to portable tanks.

Firefighters from every department in White County as well as from Griffin, Ind., and other Posey County units responded.
